Baghdad Sells Kirkuk's Oil As It Stalls Article 140
KIRKUK – In Iraq’s transitional constitution after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, 43 percent of areas historically claimed by the Kurds were considered "disputed" and tied to Article 58, later to be changed to Article 140 in the permanent constitution. One of these disputed territories is the province of Kirkuk.
Although Article 140 stipulates equal power-sharing between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the central government has the upper hand in running and administering the province. Its powers include controlling the budget of the province, signing oil contracts and exporting oil. The KRG does not have any form of control over the North Oil Company of Kirkuk.
